Show Me Something, January 2017
Posted by gmpullman on Monday, January 2, 2017 5:13 PM

The new year is here and it is time to get the photos posted for January's Show Me Something!

http://cs.trains.com/mrr/f/88/t/259811.aspx

The last request from December was for a freight train with signals.

Here, A PRR I1s works upgrade passing under a signal bridge on a foggy night.

Show me another night scene...

Charles said, "Show me another night scene."

This photo was taken just after my grandson turned out the lights in the layout room. Impromptu, but I like the effect.

New York Central Hudson #5335 at the head of a passenger train of mixed heavyweight and streamlined cars, rounds the curve at the west end of the Black River Valley layout.

Another night scene please.

Great Photos, Dagne!

I had to do a double-take when I saw the blue sign with the milk bottle in the lower photo. I live near Akron, Ohio and near by is Cuyahoga Falls, home of the Lawson Milk Co.

So I did a bit of research only to find that Lawson's have continued to operate in Japan as Lawson Station! (Once owned by Mitsubishi?)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawson_(store)

Fascinating!

Ed,

Thanks for the link to the Lawson Wikipedia page.  I had no idea that the Lawson stores originally came from the States.

The Lawson Station kit is produced by Tomix, if I remember correctly; and, I would be happy to get one for you from my LHS, if you want to put one on your layoutSmile

Here's another look at the store.

Lawson's was a significant regional dairy processor in NE Ohio, with a large plant right next to the B&O's East-West mainline in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. I had no idea they still operated in Japan, of all places! Live & learn.

That is very generous, Dagne, as it is, I have shelves full of structures that I'll never have room for on my layout Sad Great seeing your photos, though!

Hi

I'll reply with a post since it's been quite a while.

I hope this works because i'm having a lot of trouble with photobucket.

Here is a picture of my sheep herder and his flock.

How about some one else posting an airplane on their layout, not in the air. Smile, Wink & Grin

Have a good day.
